Soo.. about the Jaycar clones, or the fa-003 for that matter. How much juice do these need? Im pretty unimpressed. Was maybe thinking I need an amp 


More than 2 coworkers of mine after hearing them said they need an amp if using iPod or iPhone. I use my FiiO E11 with LOD with my iPod touch. No need for amp if using my Sansa.

I listen to mine in this combo: Linux ALSA > USB > Yulong D100 > CanAmp clone > FA-003 [cable mod and dampening mod]
 
Holy cow are these revealing. I can't listen to mp3s. Bad recordings show up immediately. With good recordings and vinyl the sound is very pleasing. I have my fa-003 for 1.5 year. A good buy. Even though I payed for them about $242. Bought from gd-audiobase. Both types of cushions were included. That was the wood edition, FA-002w-LBR. But FA-003 cups with dampening mod sound better to me...
 

 
may i know what cable and damping did you use?
so far i only change its internal wire and thinking about recabling those stock cable but still don't know what cable to use.

If people are waiting for theirs to ship, I just got an email asking for my full address (some delivery companies don't like the lack of road name), and ordered on the 20th - so looks like there's a backlog of about a week at the mo :)

I just got a DHL e-mail.  I ordered a week ago.  The e-mail says 2.1 pounds but I ordered two pairs of headphones.  Does anyone remember what their DHL e-mail said for weight?


From my email:

WEIGHT: 1.0
PIECES: 1
CONTENTS: Pro Monitor Headphones

What amp pairs well with these? Ive put some hours on my clones, and they are still failing to deliver. I have noticed that I have to put the volume on my cowon s9 higher. I know the s9 does not have a line out, which ive always felt defeats the purpose of amping, but maybe Ill go against my belief and give it a shot lol.

My Arrow does great with them, the bass boost comes in handy.

So everyone loves the $150 FA-003 and hates the $70 OEM version?

Perhaps they're not exactly the same after all.
